Trying to update my forum to Invision Power Board v2, and I got an error. :(

Anyone know how to fix it?


This upgrade script will upgrade your
1.3.x board to IPB 2.0.0

There are quite a few steps to perform
to update your SQL tables and convert
the current data over to the new
system.


WARNING: This upgrade script WILL
upgrade your current database tables
AND there is NO 'downgrade' script!

PLEASE ensure that you have a very
recent SQL back-up so that you can
restore your working board quickly if
you need to do so.

We cannot stress how important it is to
ensure that you have a backup of this
database before continuing


First step: Copying drastically altered
SQL tables for use later in the convert
program.




Warning! The following
errors must be rectified before
continuing!


·Cannot write to the file '../skin_cache/'.
Please CHMOD to 0777.

Thanks

If you do not know how what that even means, you should be brought out into the streets and shot. :p

Change the read/write/execute permissions on the file/folder it's bitching about to 777.

Google how to CHMOD using whatever your FTP program is.

Another error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes) in /home/thelast/public_html/forums/ips_kernel/class_xml.php on line 205

Jed, can you get on MSN or something? I'm having trouble with this :\

Doesn't that mean you need to increase the memory limit of php in php.ini? I saw somewhere that doubling it worked.

Eh... where's PHP.ini? :( I never upgraded this stuff, as IPB was already installed on my server

/etc/php.ini ? I think you need to reboot the server for changes to it to take.

Oh right, you just have ftp access, correct? You'll have to contact your host to try and have them increase it for you then I guess. :confused:
